Fixed interval smoothing algorithm for an extended Kalman filter for over-the-horizon ship tracking

The performance of an extended Kalman filter used to track a maneuvering surface target using HFDF lines-of-bearing is substantially improved by implementing a fixed interval smoothing algorithm and a maneuver detection method that uses a noise variance estimator process. This tracking routine is de...
